18.01.2022 Melbourne Snake Season 2018/2019 has been a busy one as expected. Even with the record hot and dry conditions. Snakes were turning up all over the place. Snakes were finding it tough to get a feed and were covering great distances in search of their next meal. Generally larger snakes exploit the abundance of rodents and go searching for them. This appetite for rodents brings them closer to us. Where ever humans exist rodents are close by living off our scraps. I was regularl...y catching Snakes in houses, garages, schools, businesses you name it. The most common snakes as usual were the Tiger Snake in No. 1 spot, Eastern Brown Snake No.2 and The Copperhead taking 3rd position. https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au/melbourne-snakes-faq// This is the same outcome as each previous season. I also captured a few less common species including a Common Tree Snake, a few Pythons, a couple of Red-Bellied Black Snakes and a White-Lipped Snake. All but the White-Lipped aren't indigenous to Melbourne, so were transported down by unknown means. Please remember snakes are afraid of humans so try to avoid us at all costs. So don't panic, make sure you keep your distance and call your local snake catcher for advice.https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au//snake-on-my-propert/ See more

15.01.2022 Snake Season 2019 has been on again off again. Temperatures have been very low compared to last year. Snakes have been waiting for a few days of consistent 20 degrees temperatures in a row to start feeding. Around Melbourne that hasn't happened. I have been called to quite a few jobs where the snake has been basking close to it's winter retreat and the snake has been a very easy capture. A number of Tiger Snakes so far and one huge Eastern Brown Snake have been captured and ...relocated. The brown was attracted to rodents at a chook shed. One group of canoeist's got a fright when they tried to access their canoe's and found a medium size Tiger blocking the door way. One thing I have noticed is each snake captured has been stone cold due to cold temperatures, this will certainly change as spring will soon be in full swing. https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au/ https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au/melbourne-snakes-faq/ See more

07.01.2022 Snake season has started. I won't have my Jack Russell off lead anymore in bushland reserves and parks. Snakes in the last week have emerged from their winter slumber and are soaking up UV rays charging themselves, they will start moving looking for a feed. Be aware and be sensible. Snakes generally try and avoid us and keep their distance. They have no need or interest in biting you or your dog. Most of the time they go undetected, out of sight out of mind. https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au/

03.01.2022 Snakes have been very active over the past few weeks. Some days I've had 30 plus calls. A lot of the time the snake is seen and then disappears. Surprisingly, people see a snake on their property and think it is the first one that's ever been there. However, most properties that have snakes are in locations that are favourable to snakes. The ingredients are all their, suitable habitat, food and other snakes. This means that throughout the course of a snake season there may ...have been multiple snakes pass through the property and then move on. Usually passing through undetected and causing no harm. Generally snakes pass through a property. Whilst on the property they are looking for food or a mate then move back to where they feel safe. Sometimes they will hang around. If the property is very quiet and all the ingredients are present, or to digest a large food item or are shedding their skin. During these cases the snake may stay for a prolonged period and a snake catcher may be needed to capture and relocate. My main concerns for the occupants of the property are accidentally stepping on a snake, very rare (see picture below) Or your canines getting bitten. They usually bail the snake up in a corner or attack the snake and it bites. I recommend contacting this company to train your dogs. https://www.facebook.com/K9snakeavoidancevic/ https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au/ http://www.snakescatcher.com.au/ https://snakecatchermelbourne.com.au/melbourne-snakes-faq/ See more

03.01.2022 Good advice and tips. Bees are more dangerous than snakes. You are more likely to die from a Bee sting.
